Sally Kern is a Republican Oklahoma state legislator from Oklahoma City. She is married to Steve Kern, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church.

In March 2008, Kern made national headlines when she stated "I honestly think [homosexuality is] the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam - which I think is a big threat, OK? Cause what's happening now is they are going after, in schools, two-year olds."

After receiving attention for the remarks, Kern said "I said nothing that was not true" and refused to apologize."

Kern is also an advocate for creationism and does not think that evolution should be taught as science in public schools.
